Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: Will this fit my 18' round above ground pool?
A: Yes—this cover is designed specifically for 18' round above ground pools and includes a 4' overlap for a secure fit.
Q: What does “4' overlap” mean?
A: Overlap is the extra material beyond the pool’s top rail. More overlap generally helps the cover grip better and provides more room for securing with a cable or clips.
Q: Which side goes facing the water?
A: Use the black side down (facing the water). The blue side faces up.
Q: Do I need a cable and winch?
A: Most above ground winter covers are secured with a cable and winch or cover clips. If these aren’t included with your setup, they may be needed (sold separately).
Q: Can I use this for an in-ground pool?
A: This model is made for above ground pools. In-ground pools typically require a different cover style and anchoring system.
